Chapter 38 #2
“Yes, I do. I’ve lived long enough to understand that monogamy is a lie. It only leads to heartbreak.”
“What about Akua? The way you—”
“Don’t confuse that with jealousy, please, I beg.
If you genuinely wanted Akua, then I would be fine.
You don’t—and him insufferably flirting with you and taking your words beyond their meaning was frustrating.
” Especially with everything that happened with that god, anyone that took anything she said or did beyond the truth of them would have no kindness from him.
He never looked away from her, keeping eye contact to ensure she understood his true meaning. “I promise. There is a difference.”
With a soft nod that nearly seemed sheepish, she conceded and continued, “What if, selfishly, I didn’t want you to be with anyone else?” Her question, while pointed, didn’t faze him.
“You don’t need to ask me that. Like I’ve mentioned before, I’ve had enough lovers to last me plenty of lifetimes.” She was a mere foot away then, but he still kept his arms crossed.
“In five thousand years?”
“Infinitely,” he said decisively. “But you wouldn’t ask that of me.”
She grinned, “Oh, but I was jealous of Zephyra—”
“No, you weren’t,” his hand came to the side of her neck, his thumb brushing against her throat and running across her jawline.
“You aren’t ever jealous because you know that there is no one that can compare to you.
” Her cheeks were brightening. “That doesn’t make you vain.
My soul belongs to you, and you can feel it. ”
Watching her lick her lips and bite down gently at the bottom one sent a chill up his back. “Jayce?”
“Yes, my love.”
“Thank you,” she closed the distance between them, her chest pressing against his torso. “For seeing me.” Her face was turning further red, creating a boyish grin on his face. “I love you.”
Feeling his own face burning, he leaned down to her. “And I love you, Sunshine, for our forever.”
Her lips were the essence of life itself, and they truly brought him to pure bliss. She tasted like summer nights under the stars, eating fruits and drinking sweet wine until standing was no longer possible. When she turned her head, deepening their embrace, he mirrored her.
His arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her up above him, where her hands came to his face and held him.
Their eyes met as she looked down at him, the sparkle in them casting a spell immediately on him.
Her smile was bright, as she said, “Can I see your eyes?” He blinked, and they would shift, which was indication enough by her biting down on her bottom lip.
“I know why you hide them,” she whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck, “but, around me, you don’t need to.” He placed her legs around his waist and lowered them down into the water, leaning her backward and dipping her hair in, getting a giggle from her.
He placed kisses down her chin, and her neck, “As you wish,” his lips lingered along her chest, brushing his tongue against the curve of her breast. It caused her to moan softly, and her legs to tighten around him. He was excited to elicit more of those noises.
This mountain wouldn’t survive if they were to go further than they already had, and keeping that in mind, he slowly made his way back up to her neck.
“Jayce…” She whispered, and lifted her head, the curly hair lying flat across her shoulders. There was a deep blush across her nose, “Don’t stop.”
A shiver ran through his entire body, imagining those words coming out of her mouth in the heat of the moment broke his resolve. She was leaning forward, staring at him. When she bit down on her lip and simply rolled her hips, he was done for, and whatever restraint he had, depleted.
He slowly moved them to the edge of the pond, resting her back against the soft moss. Her fingers ran through his hair, “I want to keep trying… I want you…”
“Sunshine, the things you do to me,” he leaned down to her chest and took her nipple between his teeth.
Its nub became harder then as rolling goosebumps crawled across her body.
The sounds that she made drove him wild, and even as she placed her hand over her mouth to stifle them, they were clear as the water below them.
He wrapped his lips around its entirety and sucked gently, flicking his tongue, and causing her hips to lift.
Trailing his fingers up her thigh. He was paying mind to her cues, and as her legs slowly opened, he continued. Her breathing was getting heavier, and he could hear her heart pounding in her veins.
Releasing her breast, he moved up to her lips, placing his against hers just as his fingers found her slit.
She gasped into his mouth, and he paused briefly.
Enough for her to tell him to stop, or move his hand, but when neither came, he ran two fingers along her clit.
Her arms gripped onto him for dear life, and as his fingers moved in a rhythmic motion, she threw her head back and screamed out in unfiltered pleasure.
He leaned in and kissed her neck, and with more force, he bit down. Feeling her nails dig into his shoulders only drove him to suck on her silky skin, lifting a mark just as he moved further down her shoulder, rinsing and repeating the action until he found his lips back on her breast.
Her knees were buckling, and she was writhing under him. Never had he remembered being this turned on and it was blinding him, making his body tremble. His wings, which had been tucked behind him, were extended and quivering at each moan and roll of her hips.
“You are fantastic,” he was breathless, and she hadn’t even touched him nor he himself.
She called out another loud cry, mixing his name between the spurts of groans and moans. His fingers pressed ever so harder, and finding the movement that made her squirm the most, he focused on that.
“Y-Yes—right there…” He wanted so badly to taste her, slide his fingers inside of her, remove the god from being the last person to have ever done so. “Fuck! I’m—” Except, he knew that it wasn’t time, and just being able to make her come would be enough for now.
“Come for me, Azahara.” Taking her opposite nipple back into his mouth, he felt her reach the pinnacle, and let out a cry that trembled the mountain around them.
“Don’t stop! I’m—Ah!” Her body was lifted so high that she completely came out of the water, and as her body vibrated and her legs crossed, he lifted up and kissed her with passion, finding her tongue already coming for his, he smiled.
Her gasps and breathless moans muffled by her inability to release him.
Her body quivered under him, and only after she was complete, did he move his hand up to the side of her neck. His thumb brushed down her bottom lip, which was trembling. Her breathing wild as she swallowed and squeezed her eyes shut.
“Mmm,” he purred, leaning in, and kissing her neck.
She sucked in air through her teeth, “Jayce…” the breathy way she said his name made him groan and lean down to the curve of her neck.
“You drive me crazy,” He put his hand behind her neck and lifted her, and she placed her hand onto his stomach, her eyes at half mass.
She was slowly trailing her fingers down and would soon find how much power she truly had over him, when he quickly grabbed them.
He laced his fingers with hers, bringing them up to his lips and kissing them.
“No, sweetheart.” He smiled down at her.
She scowled at him, “Why…” her attempt at catching her breath was cute.
He raised an eyebrow, “Because,” she opened her hand, and he placed it against his cheek. “I’m happy just pleasing you.”
“For now.” She said, pressing her lips into a fine line. Her arms moving and wrapping tightly around his neck. “How did you know?”
“Hmm?” He pulled them back into the water, rubbing his nose against hers.
The look in her eyes and the deepening red across her cheeks in answer to his question.
“You are still asking that after everything, Sunshine?” Getting onto his knees where the water would be at his shoulders, he had her lifted over him again.
“I guess so…” She placed kisses across his face, “I may also like to hear it.”
He chuckled, “Your lips don’t need to move for your body and soul to tell me what it wants and needs.”
